Kotobukiya Zero Revealed

A short while back, Kotobukiya began teasing fans that a Rockman Zero model kit is in the works. Tonight, however, the first image of the figure has surfaced, albeit in grey prototype form.

The attached scan from a nameless Japanese magazine shows off just what we can expect from Zero, which looks to be boasting equal if not more points of articulation than the previous three Kotobukiya model kits (Rockman, Roll, Blues). Details concerning accessories and price are still a mystery, it seems.

The Zero model kit is said to be releasing in Japan at an unspecified summer date. Kotobukiya USA has not announced any plans for this kit, but I think it's safe to assume we'll have Zero on our shores following the release of Rock, Roll and Blues.

i'm pretty sure the price for him will be more than the megaman, roll or protoman. given thats hes very popular and wanted for such a long time. like those resins from the wonder festival. everybody wanted one, but they were very limited edition. to why they are very rare. this one won't be rare at all, everyone is going to have one.

oh boy, theres going to be reviews about this figure on youtube once its released, reviews from those who couldn't afford those rare Wonder Festival ones. and those who can only build gundam type kits.

Agreed. I'm not gonna lie; more than ever before, it's starting to feel like the end of days for the Mega Man franchise. For the first time ever, I'm honestly unsure as to whether Mega Man will be around at all in five years... and maybe less than that.

It wouldn't be a far stretch to say that Legends 3 could get canceled. It's never been officially green-lit, there is no Inafune, and it's development process is so slow, it'd be a shock if the game came out in the next 3 years.
